Jewish students who endured racial discrimination at school will get a verbal apology in front of the Caulfield Hebrew Congregation after a court found the state failed to protect them.
The Caulfield Hebrew Congregation will hear an in-person apology from a senior Department of Education staff member after a court found the state failed to protect five Jewish students from racial discrimination at school.
Minack, who stepped down from his role last week, apologised to one of the students in court and said school administrators had dealt with bullying linked to discrimination. But he admitted that for much of the period in which the Jewish students were harassed, the school did not have policies to specifically identify or prevent antisemitic behaviour.
Mortimer said letters were drafted to only three of the applicants because Matt Kaplan and Arnold-Levy no longer wanted a written apology from the state.
